Idea
Kate Baer
I will enjoy this life. I will open it
like a peach in season, suck the juice
from every finger, run my tongue over
my chin. I will not worry about clichés
or uninvited guests peering in my windows.
I will love and be loved. Save and be saved
a thousand times. I will let the want into
my body, bless t
To test an idea, you must build it. You can’t rely on the abstract – you have to bring it into the world to play with it feel it and only then can you judge whether it’s worth pursuing or not

"What information, if we had it, would make this decision easy?"
Then: "What's the quickest way we can get that information?"
(Via Matt Lerner)
sometimes the most important thing we can do is let ourselves stay blurry. to be unbranded, unpositioned, undone for a while. because real self-knowledge is a slow, unmarketable process. and the lost feeling might just be the first sign that you’ve finally stopped performing someone else’s idea of a good life.

When I watch a Miyazaki film I can’t help but think about his attunement to the world, the presence it requires to transmute the real world into a fantastical one. That’s the interesting contradiction of writers and artists, I suppose: alienation is a necessity, but so is participation. The point of getting better is to be more in the world.
all i wanna do is eat fruit, read articles, get coffee and a pastry, wake cuddled up to bf, bake olive oil loaf, watch touching films, have an affirming convo w another woman, call dad, walk long distances, go to the museum, write to make sense, see mom, feel sun on my face, vibe
